Abstract
Along with the creativity of vast technological advances, humanity’s endemic destructiveness continues. Planetary healing needs motivated this research. The aim was an empirical and heuristic phenomenological investigation into and an evaluation of the theoretical and technological implications of the HeartMath Global Coherence Initiative. The single case study, and limited amount of data, indicated the null hypothesis. Methodology included HeartMath Inner Balance tool and newly developed Global Coherence application (app). Data collection involved linked empirical measures and experiential journaling. Quantitative data analysis, which consisted of statistical analysis of correlations between six existing Global Coherence magnetometers and empirical measures of meditation records, from Inner Balance and Global coherence apps, respectively, yielded unexpected findings, both significant and insignificant, in the form of trends towards global and local group coherence, respectively. Qualitative findings essentially revealed variations on the, interrelated, consciousness themes of wholeness, holistic healing, energy healing and meditation. In addition to various limitations and implications, interpretation of integrative findings indicated theoretical and practical support for the HeartMath mission and vision of developing and promoting personal, social and global coherence.
Highlights
A given phenomenology for meditators, global coherence may appear as an interconnectedness behind the passing moments and events of ordinary conscious awareness [1,2]
The present case study included a review of the author’s personal and global coherence experiences during using HeartMath, Inner Balance and Global Coherence apps over two months, with the author functioning as both researcher and participant [31]
Qualitative findings are followed by qualitative data on the patterns and essential summary of experiences with special reference to regional and global coherence
Summary
A given phenomenology for meditators, global coherence may appear as an interconnectedness behind the passing moments and events of ordinary conscious awareness [1,2]. Heart rate variability (HRV) clearly emerged as key index of communication, adaptation, resilience and general health, reflecting autonomic nervous system (ANS) dynamics, heart-brain and other organ system interactions, as well as resonant interconnections with broader energetic environment, geomagnetic field, Schumann resonances, solar activity and cosmic rays [10,20,22]. This particular article is inspired by the Institute of HeartMath, Global Coherence Initiative (GCI) pioneering research that continues to support converging scientific evidence for vast, energetic, interconnectivity at human, planetary and solar systemic levels. It was considered that any empirical data could provide support for the communication of meaning that might be derived from an experiential investigation and evaluation into the theoretical and technological implications of the Global Coherence Initiative and newly developed Global Coherence app
